Friday Night Music-Lou Reed

Friday, March 7, 2008

Okay, I caught one rather odd change in the lyrics. They aren’t colored girls anymore. Given the subject matter, it’s sort of hard to figure why he made that change. Take a Walk on the Wild Side: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJV0MljEcTk[/youtube] I just love these sort of pairings. This tops David Bowie and Bing Crosby. Lou Reed and […]

Friday night music-Warren Zevon

Friday, February 29, 2008

I spent most of the day in a train. It’s funny how doing nothing can make you so tired. I write this from a hotel room, where I am about to hit the sack. The Amtrak magazine had a list of 10 supposedly obscure albums to download to your Ipod, and one of them was […]

Friday Night Music-Wilco

Friday, February 15, 2008

This is a song suggested by someone who came to the last Drinking Liberally. He actually sent me a number of links, some of which were broken. I decided on this one, anyway, because it’s a little more au courant, (i.e., it does not conclusively demonstrate that I’m stuck in the 60s) and it’s somewhat […]

Friday Night Music: Jimmy Cliff

Friday, February 8, 2008

Many Rivers to Cross. The group singing with him is The Sounds of Blackness. This one starts a bit slow, so you have to be patient. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HWAIWsP5OM[/youtube]

Friday Night Music-Brian Wilson

Friday, February 1, 2008

The musical genius of the Beach Boys. God Only Knows: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-jMKeB8qc4[/youtube] Surfin’ USA [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yMR53VcUSk&feature=related[/youtube] And here’s someone’s homemade video, a short snippet with Brian and Bruce Springsteen: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4dlmQwN64c[/youtube]

Friday night Zappa

Friday, January 25, 2008

A couple of days ago I thought I’d try to find some Frank Zappa for a Friday night concert. What brought Frank to mind was this post on Americablog, that featured this video appearance of Frank on Crossfire. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ISil7IHzxc[/youtube] He makes them all look sort of stupid, doesn’t he? Zappa was a musical genius, but […]

Music to drink (liberally) by

Friday, January 18, 2008

The next meeting of our nascent Drinking Liberally chapter (am I using “nascent” correctly? My dictionary says “yes”, but barely, so I leave it to my resident etymologists to decide) will meet at the Ice House Pub at the Bulkeley House at 111 Bank Street in New London on February 7 at 6:30 PM. We […]

Friday night music is back

Friday, January 11, 2008

I think it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted music. I honestly can’t keep track. This week, two of Simon and Garfunkel’s best. The inevitable Bridge Over Troubled Water. What can I say, it’s a great song. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbFEnoITiWE[/youtube] America [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8ULw6tDey0[/youtube]

Christmas concert

Friday, December 21, 2007

Pick and choose what you’d like to watch. This is sort of eclectic. It’s hard to find good stuff on Youtube sometimes. I spent about half an hour trying to find a good clip of Eartha Kitt singing “Santa Baby”, which I think is a real howler. No luck, and Madonna’s version sucks by comparison. […]
